Today I had a last minute request from a client needing a Personal Shopper save. I was happy to oblige. I always feel tremendous pressure shopping for others since I have their hard earned money in my hands trying to score the best deals! I try to plan out my buys before I leave as a rough guide to how much things will cost and I will be able to buy with the money I have to shop with. Today I had no plan as I walked out my door to shop for this client.
The client paid $100. I kept my normal $25 fee and shopped with $75! I was able to purchase $166.93 with the $75! I more than doubled their money! This haul includes: 8 bags of Tide pods (14 count), 2 Snuggle, 2 Bounce, 2 Gain dishwashing soap, Colgate toothpaste, 5 body washes, a 6 pack Dove bar soap, 2 Loreal shampoos, 2 Loreal conditioners, 3 Scott/Cottonelle 18 pack toilet paper, and a Scott 6 pack mega roll of paper towels!
Shopping for others has great responsibility, but it also comes with great reward. Knowing the pricing at other stores is very important. I do not want to overspend personally much less with someone else's money! I shopped at both Walmart and CVS today for this Personal Shopper save.
CVS advertised Tide pods 14 count on sale for $4.99 this week. I knew that the 14 count Tide pods are normally only $4.44 at Walmart. I chose to buy the pods at Walmart given the cheaper price and stack my coupons on that price. The Loreal hair products this week trigger $4 back in Extra Bucks if you purchase two. The Loreal shampoo/conditioners are $4.99 each or $.450 each if you purchase 2 or more. I used a $3/2 coupon and paid $6.50 OOP and received $4 back. I then purchased 4 body washes in my next transaction and used $3 in coupons along with my $4 from the shampoo transaction and paid only $0.83!
I not only met my clients expectations today, but I also exceeded them with the amount I was able to purchase. I believe today was definitely a great day to be a Savvy Saving Shopper!
